To au whom it may conoca Be 1t known that l, CHARLES HENRI CLAUDEL, a citizen of the Republic of .A France, residing at 4 1 Rue des Art-5 Levallois-Perret, Seine, `France7 have inventedv curve, in such a manner as toobtain a mixture of air and carburetantwhich under all conditions conforms to the most suitable proportions (which are substantially constantin the case of explosion motors). i

...is a diagrammatic section of an embodiment of kthe invention which is given by way of example.

Fig. 2 shows. in combination iaith a regulating plug., the' same device provided with a baliie .c'up to prevent'thecarbui-etant being discharged to the exterior l during stoppage. Fig. 3 represents the jet surmounted by an alr suction cage likewise in combination with a plug regulating the admission and the Carburation.

The vacuum H which prevails in thecbamber c', c" Aobviously depends uponvthe inlets i', outlets z', and upon the intermediate resistances' of the orifices il: in particular.- ln thev figure the orifice o external to the chamber c ,"o is surrounded by a cage through which suction is-'exerted at at the exterior,mil the relating plug g while the disehargetalres place at I in the interior ofthe plug. "Itis obvious that the arrangements/can be reversed Without departing from the principle of the invention. Figs. l0 and ll give examples of this,
